does the equalizer have a 'custom' setting? the pre-sets always suck. i love creative, & this sounds great, but i wont buy an mp3 player without a customizable equalizer

That is a drawback with this unit as it doesn't have a customizable equalizer. I will say that this is less of a problem with this Creative player than most others. I am currently using this and a Sansa clip +, the sound, especially using bluetooth is much better than the Sansa which does have the customizable equalizer. Many people get around this by installing Winamp ( which I have) since it's an android based player there are software solutions available. Fortunately the Creative hardware is excellent which definitely helpsl

What issues exactly? Everything works good for me. And about the sound if you are using or used to use mixers most of them uses transistors instead of sound cards. With sound card the sound it's not really crisp and not powerful enough. It's sounds way to compressed. Everything else you can't ask for more!! It makes your Dj skills really easy to perform ... It's saves all your cue points ... Loops... Etc. instead of create you loop every time on a track it saves it ... Next time you play the same track you'll have you loop there ready to use or not!!!

not on the speakers themselves. but i went into my equalizer on itunes and fooled around with it until i found the setting i liked. for me, it was "electronic" that sounded best.

Yes it does have an equalizer. It has 5 bands. Hope this answers your question :)

Hello. This unit has equalizer presets such as ROCK, POP, and CLASSICAL, but does not have a graphic equalizer.

The bass sounds great, although I do have to say that I don't use the stock music app on my phone. I use another music app from the Play Store called Poweramp, which allows me to change the bass settings & the EQ!. But honestly it has a great sound, even with the stock android music player. I'm satisfied with them.

are you using a connecting cable 3.5mm with two out put ends to plug into your aux imput on the back of your receiver? if you really want hi-end playback, get a nuforce dac and use this type of cable or a single 3.5mm connecting cable from mp3 player to a receiver or intergrated amp and the sound quality will blow you away, happy listening:)

If you are running the equalizer througn your tape monitor system, make sure you have the tape monitor turned on. It is a common error. If you aren't running it through a tape monitor on your receiver, try doing that. Without the equalizer your speakers will sound horrible.

I found my set to be very balanced in sound. In my old unit, the bass distorted at high volume. This unit appears to balance the bass with the other sounds. Could your unit be defective?

There is no equalizer, it is a piece of trash. Had it one week , and the CD player quit. Trash, Trash, Trash. Amazon should stop selling this Trash.

Thanks for your question. Receivers no longer have graphic equalizers. Instead, they have a more comprehensive, 21st century solution called Audessey which is a system that uses a microphone placed at the listening position which allows Audessey to listen to the room from that position and make very comprehensive adjustments to the system that are significantly more intricate and adaptive than a graphic eq could ever make. Thanks again

I was just going to post the same question, so I'm assuming it doesn't have presets at all. I'm guessing the previous person who said that's probably for a different model system was correct. That's the only button on my remote that does nothing so I know it's not a bad remote. Oh well, still a great system you just have to learn how to adjust bass and treble depending on what you're watching/listening to.

This would be perfect...for a little boost and more if needed. I use this device for my cellphone, tablet, laptop, and any other media that will take the plug for this. The equalizer I don't use...as the presets are all bass or all at max, which can be overwhelming. I would definitely give it a try if I were you...can't go wrong.

Yes, I encountered the same issue. The best solution is to import the file into Audacity (free software) and then apply amplification. I usually added some EQ too because they sound too thin. Of course, if you are a purist, you would like to avoid this last step. As I mentioned in my review, mp3 recording here is a good idea but the technology used needs some tweecking. I hope this helpful.

If you use a good mp3 player with good eq then just about anything you listen to will sound good....keyword here is a GOOD EQUALIZER

I don't know anything about an equalizer? I've had it a couple of years and it works great, the only issue I've had is that sometimes the sound doesn't transfer thru and I have to re-select the device, I have 2 computers, and a dvd player going to my tv thru it, it was a good deal

I made the sound better by using the equalizer to make surround sound. If you don't make adjustments, it will sound the same.
